“…Over 122 major languages have been identified in India. 7 Developing new language specific questionnaires is demanding in terms of time, money and effort 8 and hence, translation of questionnaires to local languages and cultures would be a more practical method. The goal of the present study was to translate and adapt five commonly used self-report English health questionnaires into a South Indian language, Kannada.…”

et al. 2016

The objective of this study was to translate and adapt five English self-report health measures to a South Indian language Kannada. Currently, no systematically developed questionnaires assessing hearing rehabilitation outcomes are available for clinical or research use in Kannada. The questionnaires included for translation and adaptation were the hearing handicap questionnaire, the international outcome inventory - hearing aids, the self-assessment of communication, the participation scale, and the assessment of quality of life – 4 dimensions. The questionnaires were translated and adapted using the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) guidelines. The five stages followed in the study included: i) forward translation; ii) common translation synthesis; iii) backward translation; iv) expert committee review; v) pre-final testing. In this paper, in addition to a description of the process, we also highlight practical issues faced while adopting the procedure with an aim to help readers better understand the intricacies involved in such processes. This can be helpful to researchers and clinicians who are keen to adapt standard self-report questionnaires from other languages to their native language.

“…Cross-cultural adaptation of scales with proper processes enable researchers to carry out multicultural studies and contribute to international collaboration (Çapık, Gözüm & Aksayan, 2018). Cultural adaptation also saves time, money and effort (Beauford, Nagashima & Wu, 2009). Accordingly, it can be observed that scale adaptation studies are increasing nowadays (Açak & Düz, 2018;Altundağ, Yandı & Ünal, 2019;Dilekçi & Sezgin Nartgün, 2020;Limon & Durnalı, 2017;Yılmaz, 2019 e.g.).…”

“…In the literature, various steps are suggested for scale adaptation (Beauford, Nagashima, & Wu, 2009;Dhamani & Richter, 2011;Gjersing, Caplehorn & Clausen, 2010). However, this study employed the steps suggested by Gjersing et al (2010).…”

This study adapts "Change Fatigue Scale" into Turkish cultural context for potential uses in future empirical studies. It also aims to validate it for educational organizations, so the items were revised accordingly. There were three different study groups in the study. The first group included 33 English teachers and there were 150 teachers in the second and third study groups. First of all, a rigorous language adaptation process was carried out. Achieving language equivalency of the scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to test the construct validity. As for reliability, Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and items statistics were calculated. The findings showed that change fatigue scale had adequate psychometric properties when adapted into Turkish. A substantial theoretical contribution to the literature holds the significance of the current study. Additionally, the scale adapted into Turkish culture can be used in empirical studies in future and it can be a reference for further scale development efforts which can be regarded as the practical significance. The studies on change related constructs, organizational commitment, turn over intention, resilience and performance etc. can exploit the scale.

“…В соответствии с классическими психометрическими стандартами (Beauford et al, 2009) перевод русскоязычной краткой версии ДТП на английский язык осуществлялся с помощью процедуры обратного перевода при участии трех специалистов, в совершенстве владеющих русским и английским языками. При переводе на английский язык методика получила название Brief Differential Perfectionism Inventory (BDPI), а ее шкалы -«Normal perfectionism» (NP) и «Pathological per-fectionism» (PP).…”
